The best walks and hikes around Carbajales De Alba

The Ricobayo Reservoir, also known as Salto de Ricobayo or Embalse del Esla, is an impressive hydroelectric engineering project located on the Esla River, less than 1 km from Ricobayo de Alba, in the municipality of Muelas del Pan. The reservoir is located in the area known as the Arribes del Esla, a deep geographic depression with spectacular landscapes.

Although not officially called the "Ribadelago Dam," the Ricobayo Dam is the most prominent dam in Muelas del Pan and is part of the Esla River hydroelectric system. The dam connects Ricobayo and Muelas del Pan, and its construction completely transformed the local landscape, even forcing the relocation of the Visigothic church of San Pedro de la Nave.

The Cadozos Waterfall, located in Muelas del Pan (Zamora), is a little-known but very special natural spot, ideal for hiking and nature lovers. It's a seasonal waterfall, meaning its flow depends on rainfall, being most spectacular in spring or after days of heavy rain.

Visigothic church (7th century) of San Pedro de la Nave. It originally stood on the banks of the Esla River, but the construction of the Ricobayo reservoir threatened to flood it. Historian Manuel Gómez Moreno managed to have it dismantled from its original location and moved stone by stone between 1930 and 1932 to the nearest town: El Campillo, where it can be seen today.

This bridge was built following the construction of the Ricobayo Reservoir.

The Church of San Pedro de la Nave is a 7th century Visigoth temple located in the town of El Campillo, municipality of San Pedro de la Nave-Almendra, in the province of Zamora, Spain. It was declared a National Monument on April 22, 1912. The construction of the temple dates back to the end of the 7th century and the beginning of the 8th century, possibly between the years 680 and 711, which makes it one of the last works of Visigothic art. Originally, it was located on the banks of the Esla River, but when the Ricobayo reservoir was built, it was moved stone by stone to the current location.

The Aliste River is a watercourse that originates in the Sierra de la Culebra, in the district of San Pedro de las Herrerías, in the province of Zamora, Spain. Along its route, it passes through the towns that make up the valley of the region that bears its name. Some of these towns include Mahíde, Las Torres de Aliste, Pobladura de Aliste, Palazuelo de las Cuevas, San Vicente de la Cabeza, Bercianos de Aliste, Flores de Aliste, Gallegos del Río, Domez, Vegalatrave, Vide de Alba, El Castillo de Alba, and finally reaches Carbajales de Alba.

The Alba de Aliste Castle is an old medieval fortification located in the town of the same name, belonging to the municipality of Losacino, in the province of Zamora, Spain. The remains of the castle are located on a hill that overlooks the Aliste river and the Retael stream. Although its geographical environment is currently profoundly modified due to the construction of the Ricobayo dam, this castle had notable defensive value in its time.
